Vegan
Chocolate Chip Cookies

12 big cookies

There are vegan chocolate chip cookies in the health food store that
contain almost 500 calories each. It is pretty dangerous to eat cookies
like that if you want to lose weight. We created this easy
recipe
for healthy chocolate chip cookies. Each big cookie
contains 163 calories, and is only 13% fat. And they are
delicious!

In
a food processor, mix dates and bananas into a smooth paste. Stop to
scrape the sides and lid at least once. Add to the bowl of applesauce
and vanilla and stir together well.

Stir dry ingredients into wet. Do not overmix. Fold in vegan chocolate
chips.

Spoon
batter onto baking sheets into 3 oz patties, flattening each slightly.
The batter will be very sticky. Put 6 cookies on each sheet.

Bake for 8 minutes. Move bottom baking sheet to top shelf of
oven, and vice versa. Bake for 8 more minutes.

Allow
cookies to rest on the parchment paper for a few minutes, to relax
their grip on the paper. Then carefully remove them with a spatula.
Cool on a cooling rack.

Comments:
These are amazingly good date, applesauce, and
banana chocolate
chip cookies. You can hardly taste the fruit in them. Feel free to
substitute carob powder and/or carob chips for the chocolate.

Make
these cookies smaller if you prefer. If you use 2 oz of batter for each
cookie, the recipe yields 18 cookies at 109 calories each.
